Joel 176: The Why of Belief. Why is that The Only System? Is that The Abrahamic Covenant?!
The Bible is written in such a way that we are to seek Him out. Welcome to our special Father’s Day lecture? Because we’re still “Chasing away the visitor every Sunday...”
We start with the belief process. The “Why” of Belief. Genesis 15 is our view into the mind of God when it comes to Belief. What does it cost to buy even one drop of Christ’s Blood? Why did He make belief a system, and why did He make that the only System? We’re back to making sure you know for sure that Christ talked with Abram as Melchizedek in the event immediately preceding the Abrahamic Covenant laid out by God in Genesis 15. Had Abram ever considered infinity before this moment? God asks if Abram can count the stars. Only the Aleph-Tav is Infinity. The Aleph-Tav is Jesus Christ. And they, the One, can prove truth because God is infinity. Let’s listen as the pastor talks with us about Melchizedek.
We tie in Judas... who has Satan inside of him, and he is the guest of honor at that ceremony. What happens at Genesis 14 is the exact same thing as what happens at Matthew 24. The bloodshed in Genesis 15 is everywhere... just like the Blood shed by Christ, which ties into the bread and wine that Melchizedek brings in Genesis 14:18-24. And that passage continues into Genesis 15. The Lamb slain is Genesis 15. And No one can enter the presence of God except by Christ... Who is Melchizedek! God sent God, Christ, Melchizedek to bring bread and wine... which is Himself (Body and Blood). We go into several other references in Genesis to see that Christ is there too. It’s either that, or God just sends... some guy.
